But you might like to rent a car so you will be free to dine at Boulder’s many great restaurants; stroll on the the famous Pearl Street Mall in the evenings; or take a drive into Boulder’s beautiful foothills. There will be parking the symposium across from the UMC, and you can get your $25 pass for the week in advance.
